OBS - Switch from Win7 to Win8

I'm just looking for people with experience with OBS and playing games on Windows 8. I will be switching computers at some point to my brother's computer he just built before passing, and it has Windows 8 on it and is running a Haswell cpu and a gtx780 gpu. I am just looking for people that might have an idea of how well OBS works with the Haswell architecture and Windows 8 (I don't anticipate any problems coming from the gpu but thought I should just add what gpu it has). My old gpu (gtx 570) will be going to Shade so he can stop dropping frames while streaming.

I know that Windows 8 has some problems with game crashes and what not, so I'm trying to figure out if I'm walking into a mine-field with Win8 AND Haswell or if it won't be that bad.

Edit: Had a brain fart, put Maxwell instead of Haswell lol

Win8 will be fine. I occasionally crash when I hit the start or stop streaming button but never during a stream. I have an Ivy Bridge processor and not Haswell though.

Havent had it for very long, but my haswell + windows 8 build hasn't had any problems with obs/tf2 so far.
